Under what condition is a Performance Information Memorandum (PIM) submitted for performance evaluations?

A Performance Information Memorandum (PIM) is specifically used when performance evaluations are necessary for periods of less than 90 days. This mechanism is important to ensure that personnel receive formal assessments for shorter assignments or periods of duty, reflecting their contributions and performance accurately despite the brief duration. The PIM allows for documentation of performance in a timely manner, which can be particularly relevant for roles that involve temporary assignments or changes in duty.

In contrast, the other conditions described do not require a PIM. For instance, evaluations covering periods longer than 90 days typically follow a standard evaluation process and do not necessitate the use of a PIM. Similarly, annual evaluations and special assessments are also conducted through established evaluation systems rather than utilizing the PIM, which is reserved for those shorter evaluation periods.
